RE: What If... A Glimpse of a Brighter Future?
Heads up - I've just downvoted something that you probably won't want to downvote so please review my recent 100% downvote to check that you agree. My justification for doing so is in the comments (actually about a dozen comments spread across multiple posts which you can see in my feed).
Thanks for the heads-up. I had read part of that conversation yesterday, but I don't feel like I know enough about the situation to keep the auto-downvotes in place, so I removed them.

The auto-votes have been for users reward farming - 3 key groups comprising of nearly 400 users now.
This downvote was different (not part of my downvote trail), hence the heads-up. Unfortunately, he's been exposed as a liar and having been exposed, is now trying to deflect attention away from himself. Which is extremely sad and disappointing given the recent funding that he's received.

Yeah, I understand the distinction, and I appreciate the heads-up.
I actually try to keep an eye on my automatic downvotes. No reservations about continuing that. (one time, I apparently downvoted a legitimate post in the German community... seems that you had accidentally downvoted, then switched to upvote, and my follow script didn't undo the downvote. Fortunately, I caught that and reversed it before it paid out. ;-) Hopefully, I haven't missed any others of those...)
I have been thinking that Steemit could put a dent in this by requiring captcha verifications to renew a delegation every 30 days or something like that. It has always annoyed me (even pre-2020) that they are unable to curb that form of abuse. Maybe even start at 30 days and increase the frequency as time goes on.... At some point, an account shouldn't need a Steemit delegation any more.
I'm glad it's being downvoted, but it would be better to stop it at the source.

... gulp! I can't remember doing that! I'm usually very careful because I know you'll follow!
I compiled a list of users a couple of years ago whose delegations were 2+ years old. I can't remember how much STEEM it was... but it was significant. It's probably even more now.
The Steemit Team has historically been very good at removing the delegations when informed. They've been very slow this time for whatever reason - perhaps because I haven't given them an array to simply implement. Maybe I'll do that at some point :-)
It's the "voting permissions" that I find the most annoying... although they're all a "can't lose" proposition for the scammers.
